After surfacing yesterday to put “Pen To Paper”, Brother Ali reveals his next project: the new album All the Beauty in This Whole Life. He says the LP, his first new release since Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color five years ago, is “completely about beauty and love and the truth that’s communicated when hearts are connected”. The lead single, “Own Light (What Hearts Are Made For)”, is a reflection of that, with Ali catching us up on his progression and defiantly resisting those who’ve “been trying to shut us down our whole life”. The album was produced entirely by ANT and will be out May 5th.

Listen below.
